welcome well when you come haha. I would suggest if you have extra money to buy a cheap set of evo 8 enkeis and some blizacks. you can get anywhere you want with the snow tires on. i just put mine on yesterday already made a big difference. what school will you be going to? St. joes? Temple? oh and i would not drive ur evo around in the city the roads are all really bad not worth the wear and tear plus theres some pretty scary spots you can get lost in. If you go out i would stay out of the city with the evo and drive in del county...heck we sometimes have meets.

My apartment has a parking garage, I wish it had a garage, but finding one with a parking garage was bad enough.

Pretty much anywhere I go, I will most likely have my glock, but yes I do agree I had to take a test in the hood, that was fun. Ill actually be going to ccp for one semester and transfer out. I have a set of enkeis that I will probably just throw all seasons on, unless I truly need snow tires.

Medical Waste dumping
Excessive number of chain restaurants
Jersey State Troopers
Landfills
Camden
Jug Handles
STD's
Mets Fans
Traffic Circles



That couldn't be farther from the truth. Outside of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and a few other towns, Pennsylvania=Pennsyltucky.



I respectfully disagree...


BTW

I write this all in good humor. I have nothing against any other person (NJ resident or not). I also don't intend on taking over this guys thread with more Philly vs. Jersey talk. If you care to debate the matter further, we could create a new thread. Have a great day!

I also wanted to add that New Jersey sucks in that they are very anti-gun. In Philly, or anywhere in PA you can carry a concealed handgun for self defense as long as you're licensed for that.

To the OP who's moving, I dont know if you carry or not for protection down in Texas, but I know some parts of Philly can be creepy, and I would not want to trek anywhere without packing heat.

If you are a serious car junkie (regardless of brand) you should check out the Simeone Museum.

http://www.simeonefoundation.org/

Their collection is sick.

The last Saturday of every month (weather permitting), they bring out a few cars to the lot in the back for "exercise." The weekend after Thanksgiving they brought out the Cobra Daytona Coupe, their GT40, and the Cunningham. Awesome to see these legends running around barking like mad dogs.

Worth the trip.

Good luck in Filthy-delphia.

Here's one of our locals results. If your in town for a while I'm sure you'll meet him. He made around 460whp on a very low reading MD.

Check it out...

To add to Pete's post, the Sandmonster ran an 11.2 last I heard from him. He's still getting used to the new Hoosiers, so I think he'll be in the 10s once he gets working on the slicks. He won the Evo/Sti shootout mid-year this year in the heads-up class (prior to the double pumper install)

To those of you who come from states that actually honor the second amendment please carry responsibly, and dont do anything that would make the law abiding gun owner look bad.

Aside from that I'm thinking of visiting Philly soon.
